She takes great pride in helping her clients express their individuality and feel confident in their own unique style.
When she is not behind the chair, Samantha enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their two adorable rescue pups, Garth and Pearl. Coming from the Midwest, she also holds a special place in her heart for the Green Bay Packers. Samantha's kind, creative spirit, and genuine love for her craft make her a sought-after stylist at M.

Rachel Stallings
Rachel moved to Nashville from Southern California in 2017 to get her English degree at Belmont before finding her passion in the hair world. After attending the Aveda Institute in Franklin, she fell in love with Aveda’s mission of sustainability and creativity in the hair industry and combined her love for the environment with her love of styling. She has a soft spot for creating vibrant coppers, but also a passion for blonding, styling, extensions, and precision haircutting. Rachel has always been dedicated to caring for all hair textures and learning a variety of methods to provide a personalized approach to each client she meets.
Rachel lives in East Nashville and loves to drink good coffee, read new books, start (but probably never finish) various craft projects, and spend time with her rescue dog and cats.
Samantha Rovetto
Rovetto feels an overwhelming sense of pride as she’s dedicated herself to the art of beauty.

The past ten years have been a journey of growth, learning, and constant inspiration, and she is grateful for the opportunity to continue this path of creativity and self-expression.
She loves exploring the outdoors with her adventure pup, and finds serenity in reconnecting with mother nature. Rovetto has a passion for travel, both domestically and internationally.
